A timeless Western from director Anthony Mann (Winchester
’73,
The Far Country), The Tin Star showcases the director’s ingenuity
within the genre, taking it to new heights that elevate and surpass the
conventional hero-villain dynamic. *** A cynical former sheriff turned bounty hunter helps a young, recently appointed acting sheriff with his advice, his experience and his gun. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Arrow offer the option of linear PCM mono, stereo or a DTS-HD Master
5.1 surround track bump (all 24-bit) in the
original English language. The Tin Star
has select aggression almost exclusively in the form of gun and rifle
fire - these is a small brawl in the saloon. The mono does a fine job
but the surround has a few impressive separations. The score
was by Elmer Bernstein (The

and it adds to the film's Olde west atmosphere from serenity to tension. Arrow offer optional English
(SDH)
subtitles on their Region 'A'-locked
Blu-ray.

Anthony Mann's The Tin Star
was shot in VistaVision by Loyal Griggs (Shane,
White Christmas,
The Ten Commandments) and has some impressive deep-focus and
delightful western trope compositions. With Mann's simple, direct, style
he helmed many of the iconic western-genre films of the 50's including
Man of the West (1958),
The Man from Laramie (1955),
The Far Country (1954),
The Naked Spur (1953),
Bend of the River (1952),
The Furies (1950), and
Winchester '73 (1950.) The Tin Star
would be the only time Mann and Fonda would work together. The film
became one of the only modestly-budgeted westerns to receive an Academy
award nomination for 'Best Writing, Story or Screenplay' (by Joel Kane,
Dudley Nichols - who both did mostly TV work and, Barney Slater who
wrote
Stagecoach and
Bringing Up Baby). Some of the stunts in The Tin Star
were credited to Richard Farnsworth (David Lynch's
The Straight Story). It's a classic, pure, western with elements
of
The Gunfighter /
Shane while a gentle message denouncing racism. The Tin Star
isn't a perfect film - it's just darn close to being a perfect western.
